Abstract
The first chapter is a guide for the reader to the structure of the book and an introduction to the topics discussed in the following chapters. In particular, if on the one hand sport plays a fundamental social function and can convey positive values also in other contexts, on the other hand it is not immune to the occurence of serious misconducts and illegalities that affects every area of society. It is therefore essential to adopt Social Responsibility Policies in the world of sport, which are supported by adequate programming and control tools and communication reports as well as by transparent governance models. Starting from these considerations, the main issues of corporate social responsibility and reporting applied to the sport and discussed in the various chapters of the book are presented.
